Why did my steering wheel almost feel like it wass locked?

My power steering pump reservoir on my truck (1988 ford F150 xlt lariat, 5.0 with AOD transmission) has always leaked a little bit ever since i got the truck in 2002, had to fill it up about every 2 months because the pump would start whining and after i filled it up it would steer better than the 2005 Toyota Corolla that my mom has, until yesterday that is, i started to back it out of the yard and ithe was so tight, almost like i didn't even have the key turned on, it would turn a little bit to the left but that was it and i let it idle for about 5 minutes and then it freed up some and i managed to get it over in the driveway but it was still really tight, did my power steering pump finally end up going all the way out?
Added (1). just realized that i made some typing mistakes there, hope everybody can make out my gibberish
Added (2). would it free free up after a few minutes if it was completely out?
